Mord

Emyr's is lying...the first "computer" game he ever played was rock, paper. It was so primitive he had to wait 25 years for someone to invent scissors...up until that point paper always ruled the day. Mord.

Hah! You are way more variant crazy than I am. Mord.

Brother, I know that feeling! I've chucked at least 4000 portraits over the last couple years, easy and probably have a couple hundred hours in just the faces. I know one day I spent almost ten hours messing with a single face! It's looking really good, man. Great job. Mord.

Don't mind Emyrs' insults he's a one trick pony and still crazy after ALL these years. I counted and I've come up with at least fifty ways to leave him but I just can't bring myself to do it... I mean it's really not my habit to intrude Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude There must be fifty ways to leave an Emrys Jack...Stan...Roy...Gus...Lee...etc. Mord.

Even though it was late in the evening when I wrote it, I still knew where you were coming from. Unlike Emrys, whose memory's slip slidin' away. Mord.

Mord.

Maybe you could snap a pic of me and Julio down by the schoolyard? Mord.

Leprosy sounds like a good excuse. You probably haven't used that one yet. Mord.

Welcome. Have fun with'em. Mord.

They're here... Mord.

I doubt they'll be new, none of the others have been. But one thing that can be done to liven them up a bit is to recycle the A-Stan voices and add them in. Sorry, but I won't be screaming in Russian LOL. I'd probably bite my tongue off trying to pronounce everything. Mord.

It's in this one, says so in the features list. LOL Hey man, you are in good company. Out of all the mods I made you know what one has gotten the highest praise? The "no music" one. All I did was take the wav, lower the sound to nothing, and clip it to like one second long. Took all of a minute to make. Got all kinds of feedback and responses. Spend months on a mod and get mostly crickets. It is what it is, I guess. Mord.

yeah, that's one of the cool things about it as I said to Saferight in another thread. The scenario designers and players are creating the history for it. Every scenario big and small becomes part of the milieu. Pretty cool. I don't because in CMSF's reality Assad is already being overthrown in 2008 so technically the civil war would have to be with whatever government is established once Nato gets things settled and blah, blah, blah. But if the equipment predates 2008 it could applicable to CMSF. Gives us more an idea of what may have been missed by BFC. Or maybe that's what you meant? Mord.

No worries, brother. I am not as worked up as my post may have sounded. I was hoping the "LOL" at the end with the Buzz comment, showed that. That's fine, we all have our preferences. I have quite a few niggles and stuff about scenarios I like to play as well. we all probably do. Maybe we should sentence him to a year of Justin Beiber videos? Any how. No harm, my man. We have a lot of fun ahead of us, I think we can all agree on that. Mord.

I know this is waaaay in the future but when you do that does that mean we start all over again or do the games get upgraded to the engine (I HOPE). Mord.

As far as WWII goes I doubt they'd ever do it. But with copters in Modern I could see it. Or maybe contrails for fighters. I think they are all a dream too far, though. Yeah, that shadow was cool. Mord.

Thanks Steve and Maarten. Got it. Maarten...my brain melted at about the 4 minute mark on that video. Mord.

It might have to do with the fact that when you post all you do is make veiled insults about CMBN and talk about how much better CMX1 is. LOL So go play CMX1! Why such a pessimistic attitude all the time? Mord.

Black Sea will probably give us some hints. Mord.

The thread was about new weapons, vehicles, armor, flavor objects and the like that we'd like to have added to the original setting in a pack or extra module or whatever. You are the only one that turned it into a debate about COIN Ops...over a picture of one vehicle. I gave you examples of what could be done and you responded with the "road rally" comment. My point is, scenarios can be created beyond what CMX2 is designed for through creative thinking. Your reply was to be a smart a**. So, your mind is set, fine. In the end, who cares? The thread has nothing to do with COIN Ops anyway. It's a side track. LOL and don't make fun of Buzz he's got a positive attitude which most forums could use more of. Keep it up and he'll post a link to an Arthur Brown video. Mord.

It is exciting. I remember when they first announced CMSF. I wasn't blown out of the water but figured I should have an open mind about it...and the longer WWII took the better off WWII would be. When the game finally came out and after a multitude of patches and Modules I fell completely in love with Modern warfare. It was really cool seeing all these new vehicles and weapons and learning about them. It opened up a whole new vista for me. Now, I can't wait for Black Sea or CMSF 2! We are living in awesome CM times! And to think that years from now all our CM games will be just as fresh and new as the latest release is a wargamer's dream. I can't stress that enough. Mord.

I can't name anything specifically but I will say this, designers got pretty creative with what they had to work with and there are some very cool non traditional scenarios out there. A couple I can think of off hand was observing a warlord leader and calling in airstrikes on him and his group, and getting into a town and rescuing a spy or something like that. The point being (especially with the new trigger feature and editor upgrades) guys are gonna have even more flexibility to stretch their skills and imagination. There are lots of ways to play CMX2 besides just slugging it out...with a imaginative scenario design and a positive player outlook lots of stuff is possible. For a non-modern perspective on how ingenious people can be just look at what was done with Point Du Hoc and beach landings in CMBN. Mord.

OOPS! I should've been more clear in my initial post. Outside of the palm trees that's what I had in mind, future packs or Modules to the finished CMSF update...not the release itself. Yeah, as small as an addition as they would seem I think they'd add a lot to the over feel of the setting. A few more palm types along with the water and bridge you'll have a nice representation of your Euphrates! Mord.

Here ya go. http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=fileinfo&id=2090 Mord.
